Quote: bigfella @ June 1 2010, 8:24 PM BSTThe time to worry is when you get 4% in a first year exam. Like me.
Was that just for turning up?
Christ knows. All I know is I left twenty minutes into a three hour exam!
Ha. That sounds like my French GCSE. Except we weren't allowed to leave until the end. 
Problem was it was aerodynamics, pretty important when studying aeronautical engineering. Maybe why I'm not doing it now!
Why did it take 20 minutes to decide 'this aint gonna work'?
Did you decide the career wasn't for you in that very moment or had just had a moment of freakiness?
Just finished brewing another 5-gallon batch of beer. This time it's an American IPA and it's fermenting happily in my bathtub. I figure if I brew 5 gallons each week I'll never be wanting for beer.

You weren't allowed to leave in the first 20 minutes.
Just a bizzare exam where NOTHING I revised came up.
I re-took and got 86% and caused all sorts of problems in my department. Being accussed on failing on purpose the first time so I could re-sit and have more time to revise?????
I gota U in woodwork because I put stupid answers down. I didn't understand what function being able to heat fire bricks had in civilised society. Think I got a U in RE as well.

My friend has a degree in IT and works as a plumper currently his knowledge base is 15% of mine. So education really don't mean toffee. I failed art. Aparently a shoe on a plate is art or a half made tent but this isn't
I hated Art in school. Pompous nonsense.
